A JDBC driver is a Java library file (.jar) that enables Java applications to communicate with a database. The JDBC is a standard interface implemented by each database with a specific driver. Drivers are typically distributed by the database vendor or as open-source projects.
The connection parameters including the database location, database name and connection method are passed to the driver using the JDBC URL. The JDBC URL is a text starting with 'jdbc:...' which combines the hostname, port, database name, and any driver-specific parameters. The exact syntax can be different for each JDBC driver.
Trino (formerly PrestoSQL) is a distributed SQL query engine designed for fast, interactive analytics across heterogeneous data sources. It federates queries across databases, object storage, and data lakehouse formats such as Hive, Iceberg, and Delta Lake through a catalog-based connector architecture. Trino is optimized for ad-hoc analytical queries at petabyte scale without requiring data movement.
Trino coordinator listens on port 8080 by default. The JDBC URL can optionally specify a catalog and schema: jdbc:trino://coordinator:8080/hive/default. Authentication options include no-auth, basic (password), certificate, JWT, and Kerberos.
DbSchema connects to Trino using the Trino JDBC driver, discovering schemas from all configured Trino catalogs (Hive, Iceberg, Delta Lake, TPCH, and others), and enabling federated SQL authoring across multiple data sources through a single unified interface.
Get to your first ER diagram in minutes. No account, no credit card.
DbSchema is free. Download the installer for Windows, macOS, or Linux and start DbSchema. No signup required.
Reverse engineer an existing database or open a sample model to explore tables, relations, and indexes visually.
Edit your schema, generate interactive documentation, and roll out reviewed changes across environments.
Once the JDBC driver is configured, DbSchema connects to your Trino database and gives you a full graphical workbench — no command-line required. Available as a free Community Edition and a full-featured PRO Edition. No registration needed to get started.
Reverse-engineer your Trino schema into a drag-and-drop ER diagram. Arrange tables visually, add new columns, define foreign keys, and let DbSchema generate the DDL — all without writing SQL by hand.
Compose Trino queries by clicking on tables and columns — no SQL knowledge required. Add joins, filters, groupings, and aggregations through a point-and-click interface, then copy the generated SQL or run it directly against the live database.
Browse Trino table data and follow foreign key relationships across tables in a single view. Edit cells inline, filter rows, and paginate through large datasets — all without leaving the explorer.
Compare your Trino schema across development, staging, and production environments. DbSchema generates the exact ALTER statements needed to close the gap and lets you review every change before executing — reducing the risk of unintended schema drift.
Write and execute Trino queries in the integrated SQL editor with schema-aware autocomplete, syntax highlighting, and instant result display. Run scripts, inspect execution plans, and export results to CSV or JSON from a single interface.
Generate a static HTML site documenting every table, column, type, index, and relationship in your Trino schema. Share it with your team or embed it in your project wiki — no extra tooling required.
